The South Bay Power Plant collapses after imploding, Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013 in Chula Vista, Calif. In a matter of minutes, a hulking power plant that loomed over San Diego Bay since the late 1950s was demolished Saturday, to make way for a city park. The implosion, which had been months in the planning, turned the mighty structure into a heap of concrete and twisted steel. (AP Photo/U-T San Diego, Nelvin C.
